The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.

If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.

God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.

We need a Savior. Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight.

We do not smirk at the misery or the merrymaking of immoral culture. We weep. Being pilgrims does not mean being cynical. The salt of the earth does not mock rotting meat. Where it can, it saves and seasons. And where it can’t, it weeps.

Pastors and missionaries (need) to know God and to find in him a Treasure more satisfying than any other person or thing or relationship or experience or accomplishment in the world.

God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.
